There is something to celebrate 🎉 Last Friday, we further advanced the collaboration between TfS - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AISBL and Siemens #SiGREEN!! 🧩🤝 We kicked off how we will jointly work together to bring PCF exchange to the chemical industry, by leveraging a combination of methodology, the TfS network and SiGREEN’s capabilities.  It made us immensely proud to finalize the pilot phase in a workshop with the working group a couple weeks ago and to now also meet with members of the TfS steering committee – it was also great that @Judith Wiese and @Eva Riesenhuber had the chance to stop by. 🥂Cheers to a successful pilot and a promising future for collaborative secure PCF exchange in chemicals!  P.S: Thank you Johannes Thul for being our human selfie stick! #decarbonization #sustainablesupplychains #chemicalindustry ----------------------------------------------------------- Johannes Thul; Judith Wiese; Erk Thorsten Heyen; Gabi Unger; Olaf Stange; Steven Brughmans; Philipp Maier; Jonas Hohlweck; Dr. Eva Riesenhuber; Roland Busch Cedrik Neike Rainer Brehm Gregor Effinger

Yesterday, LyondellBasell hosted the TfS General Assembly at their premises in Wesseling, Germany. The annual GA approved #Accelerate4Impact, the new TfS strategy 2030 and much more. More info will follow. Stay tuned! #sustainablesupplychains #sustainableprocurement #decarbonisation #chemicalindustry #scope3emissions #TfSAcademy

🌍 Empower Your Decarbonisation Journey with the TfS SUPPLIER TOOLKIT and PCF INFOGRAPHIC! 🌍 We are excited to introduce the comprehensive SUPPLIER TOOLKIT https://lnkd.in/dYpKKk9Y, designed to familiarise you with the TfS PCF Guideline and assist you on your decarbonisation journey. You will find the resources needed, all in one place. Dive in and start learning: Introduction of the TfS PCF Guideline: - Benefits of calculating and sharing your PCF data - FAQ on PCF, data sharing, and decarbonisation - Guidance on the value chain and who the PCF Guideline applies to Decarbonisation Journey for suppliers: Overview of Recommended Training Material Call to Action: Visit TfS Supplier Toolkit to access the tools and resources that will guide you and your suppliers on the path to effective decarbonisation. Share the link widely to empower your network in understanding and addressing the challenges of climate change. Let's make a difference together! 🌱 PCF INFOGRAPHIC: INTERACTIVE AND INFORMATIVE The PCF INFOGRAPHIC https://lnkd.in/exn4pjEe enables you to interact with your suppliers on their decarbonisation journey Get started: - Learn the basics of climate change - Manage your company’s GHG emissions - At the product level, the PCF Guideline - Data verification and sharing Advance your efforts: - Decarbonisation - Identify emissions reduction pathways - Analyse your supply chain emissions - Set a science-based target - Integrate climate issues into your business strategy - Integrate decarbonisation into your supply chain Call to Action: 👉 Share the links with as many of your suppliers as possible; it will greatly support them in their understanding of the challenges of climate change, carbon footprint, GHG emissions (scope 1, 2, 3) and the PCF Guideline. AVAILABLE TRAINING: 📚 TfS Academy https://lnkd.in/dAKednfM offers a learning plan “Start your decarbonisation journey” https://lnkd.in/eb9XBVty https://lnkd.in/eYT3nW_z #CarbonAccounting #Sustainability #PCFGuideline #ChemicalIndustry #ClimateAction #Decarbonisation #TfSAcademy #Learning

👉 Learn all about the TfS - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AISBL initiative, its Scope 3 GHG emissions programme including the PCF Guideline, the global standard for calculating emissions at the product level; and the PCF Data Exchange solution. Join the key session by Alessandro Pistillo, Co-Chair of the TfS Scope 3 emissions programme, on the topic "How the chemical sector is pioneering with carbon accounting standards and digital tools", Chemspec Europe - Int.

🌿 Decarbonising for a sustainable future: Together we can make a difference! 🌍 This recent CHEManager International article (interview with Dr. Verena Buback, Co-Chair of the TfS Scope 3 GHG emissions programme) focuses on the critical need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the supply chain. It resonates with the work we're doing at TfS - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AISBL, where we're pioneering efforts to tackle Scope 3 emissions collaboratively. At TfS, our Scope 3 GHG emissions reduction programme is built on robust frameworks and innovative solutions: 📊 PCF Guideline: We have developed a comprehensive Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Guideline that standardises the calculation of emissions across the industry. This is a vital step towards achieving transparency and consistency in GHG reporting. 💡 PCF Data Exchange solution: We are leveraging Siemens' SiGreen technology to facilitate the exchange of PCF data with suppliers and customers. This solution not only reduces manual efforts but also ensures accurate tracking of emissions data. 🔗 Collaboration is Key: As the article emphasizes, reducing emissions beyond a company’s direct control requires strong partnerships with suppliers and industry peers. Through TfS, we foster a collaborative environment where shared knowledge and resources lead to impactful solutions. 🛠️ Training and enablement: With platforms like the TfS Academy https://lnkd.in/dAKednfM, we provide suppliers with free access to a wide range of sustainability training programmes. These resources are crucial for building the necessary expertise to drive decarbonisation efforts effectively. Our journey towards a greener future is a collective one. The challenges we face are common across companies and industries, but by working together, we can achieve faster and more significant results. 💬 Join us in our mission: Engage with TfS and explore how you can contribute to reducing supply chain emissions. Let's collaborate to make our supply chains not only efficient but also sustainable. 🌐 https://lnkd.in/eYT3nW_z https://lnkd.in/dYpKKk9Y #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #SupplyChain #GHGEmissions #Collaboration #Innovation #PCF

Thank you Karen Mercier Cheryl Ang for sharing this inspiring message. Together, we can drive significant change in our industry and beyond. Let's take this call to action seriously and collaborate to achieve our sustainability goals. How can your organisation contribute to reducing Scope 3 emissions? Let's drive progress! https://lnkd.in/eYT3nW_z

Join us for our second #TfSTalks of the year on 28 June 2024! Our two expert speakers Dr. Peter Botschek Cefic and Erich Cuaz Clariant will address the topic of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). You will learn about the CBAM mechanisms and get an understanding of the basics of this EU regulation, as well as how a TfS member is set up to comply with it, the main challenges and solutions one of our TfS members applies, and what the next steps of this regulation are.  Sila Vogiatzaki Lonza will moderate the Q&A session. #TfSTalks are online discussions on sustainability topics of joint interest to the TfS community. During each webinar, TfS members present their insights around a specific topic and encourage discussion and exchange of learnings. Open to TfS member companies only! #chemicalindustry #responsiblesourcing #sustainablesupplychains #sustainableprocurement #sustainability #decarbonisation #unlockyoursustainabilities #CBAM

🌟👏Congratulations Bertrand Conquéret with your Lifetime Achievement Award and for co-founding and leading TfS to where it is today.
